Quick parking lot question

[GonzoCat]

Does the lot south across the street from the McLeod have a name? The one you can park in without being a PSC member. Have a group gathering there for homecoming tailgating and the organizer asked me what it was called.

I don't know if it has a name either. I know that it is a "C" lot for students, but is open to everyone on weekends.

Watch it, big boy. I have tailgated in that lot twice this year and I am only 49.........far from old.

It is Dike and has been that for quite some time. Old and young go there.

However, there is no signage (that I am aware of) that identifies it as such. I ususally have to put up a flag so that others can find us.

Thanks.

I didn't even realize this was a serious answer until others confirmed it, I thought you were either talking about the town west of CF or were calling me a dike, which threw me a bit.

It is actually technically called the South Arts Lot.

Re: Quick parking lot question

Anyone know if Blue Island Tribe is playing a concert in the student lot again? They played at the Indiana State game, but I thought it was poor timing for them b/c we were playing a pretty easy opponent and the weather was bad. Homecoming would've made much more sense for them to play. It will be a MUCH larger crowd.

Re: Quick parking lot question

I was in that lot. The weather didn't help out either.

After asking around, I was told that NISG put up the funds to have a band at all the remaining home games in the North lot. (Hey CA - NISG did something good for the direct benefit of the students)

Personally, I am going back to the South lot. The loud music made it difficult to hear Gary's pregame.

Actually you pretty much hit it. It's been called "Dike" forever by those of us who lived in the quads because when you had to park your car way out in the back of that lot it felt like you might as well just park your car in Dike the town. I believe all those damn stoners from the Towers always called the North Dome lot "Siberia" for similar reasons.

If you're trying to give out-of-towners directions, I'd just tell them it's the lot on the southwest corner of 27th St. and Hudson Rd.

I kind of liked the idea of having a band, but ya, I like tailgating in that lot but I also like pulling on other good college games on my XM to listen to while tailgating. I wasn't able to do that, this last time, but before the South Dakota game I got to listen in on Michigan State's loss to Central Michigan, that was fun, love a good upset.
